Bottle. Dark brown body with a medium tan head. Aroma has roasty malts and some sweet milk chocolate. Taste mainly has that familiar sweet dark licorice that is found in other variations of Saku Porter. Next to it some additional sweetness emerges that indeed might resemble white chocolate. Gets cloying before the bottle is finished. This might go well with gingerbread and chocolate but I would not pair it with sauerkraut and black pudding (like I’m used to doing with the regular Saku Porter).

Bottle. Deep mahogany with no head. Porty chocolate aromas. Flavours of sweet milk, elements of cherry and liquorice along with hints of the biggish alcohol towards the end. Very sweet, probably to style, but too sweet for me.

50cl bottle (2012) from Stockmann, Tallinn last year. Pours dark mahogany with a beige head. Strong aroma of chocolate, seems slightly artificial, but not too far over the top. Malty and chocolaty, some roasty notes, hints of licorice and dark fruits. Sweet with a dominating chocolate flavour and a mild bitterness. Medium body with a fairly average carbonation. A bit too much chocolate for my taste, but still quite nice.

Festive White Chocolate Porter, 50cl bottle from the Estonian gluhwein stand in the Lunenburg Weihnachsmarkt... Pours a dark black-brown with a fast-settling beige head and aromas of chocolate, toffee and maybe just a little nutmeg or cinnamon. Initially chocolate and little coffee on the palate, then burnt caramel and roast malt coming in, along with a treacle-toffeeish sweetness more reminiscent of a Doppelbock. The finish is more dry-sweet, as the burnt edge of the treacle is boosted by a light hoppy bitterness.

(50 cl bottle) Reddish dark brown colour, rather clear, with a beige head. Aroma is roasted with lots of chocolate (white or milk), but not immensely complex. A slight metallic touch and no trace of hoppy aroma. Heavily sweet taste, light bitterness. Short finish. Not bad, but nothing to get very passionate about either.
